Our Merry Christmas is a little belated, but we wanted to share with you anyway. We returned from WA on Christmas Eve after spending a week with my (Sheri) family. We had a wonderful time relaxing, decorating cookies, painting ornaments, and having tons of laughs at the kids and their antics. My dad was able to finish his final chemo treatment and we had a little party Friday when he came home from work. It has definitely been a long road for him, but we are optimistic that he won't have to continue on with chemo and life can get back to normal for him. We praise God for answered prayer and continued healing. We should find out on Jan 2 what comes next for him.

Kiera had a blast with her cousins this past week and loved all the gifts she received. My mom sewed doll clothes and diaper bags for each of the little girls and gave them each a doll to go with. They were the hit of the week. Kiera finally started to understand the whole gift process and was really getting into ripping the paper by the end. I am including some pictures of Kiera with her cousins and some random pictures of our Christmas in WA.

We are now in Sioux Falls again and were able to enjoy our first White Christmas! We got about 6 inches on Christmas and it was absolutely beautiful! We still haven't attempted to go out with Kiera again since she hated it so much the last time, but one of these days we'll try again. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

What a great family picture! Must have been taken by a pro! :) Kiera's kitchen is really cute. Looks like she is having fun with it!
